•  Listening to Reasonable Doubt and Renegade makes me want to start writing again. Most of my verses tend to be angsty rather than reflective. My one somewhat reflective song (Conversation In Song) is far too introspective to be laid back reflection. And, of course, the verses I wrote for the If I Get Locked Up Tonight and my other shock song are mostly for humor (though I do need to write more meaningful shock verses).

  My unweildy verses change rhythm and flow far too sporadically for my own poor control over a beat to handle. Plus I find my voice irritating to listen to when emotional (which is a majority of my verses...). Oh well, here's one I'm rather happy with. Though I think I'm too slow at the beginning, the rest I do an excellent job of keeping on the beat. Plus, since the beat was so specific, I actually had to change my flow when writing the verse (instead of my usual constant stream of rhyme schemes). The rhyming itself isn't bad, and it gets the message across.

  
  (I just realized the background music will get in the way. You can listen to my verse (around 1:59) at http://thirst2.xanga.com/audio/782ad3461702/)

  However, I would like to work on more complex stuff...just need to get better at actual performing...
